In this episode of Driven to Lead, our guest Fay Niewiadomski, Founder and CEO of ICTN, shares a powerful story about courage, identity, and the decisions that shape a life. Fay reflects on a defining moment from her years in Beirut, when she was serving as dean of a university during a long period of civil war. One morning, she arrived at the beautiful office that had become a symbol of her professional accomplishment, only to find that it had been destroyed by a bomb overnight. In that moment of shock and loss, Fay faced a choice: remain defined by the disaster or use it as a decision point for transformation. She chose to rethink, reimagine, and reset her life. That turning point led her to leave the comfort of academia, confront needed changes in her personal life, build new businesses, and ultimately expand her work as a leadership coach and transformation consultant. Fay’s story is a reminder that leaders do not control every circumstance, but they do have the power to decide how they will respond. With courage, grit, identity, and purpose, even moments of devastation can become the beginning of an exciting new path toward transformation.
